What should I wear?

I
don’t direct my clients on what to wear unless they ask because I feel
clothing tastes are very personal. Your clothes should reflect you! That
said you probably want to be your “best you” in a photo, and some
clothes do photograph better than others.

A few ideas for family clothing choices:

Whites for the parents with jewel tones for the kids (yellow, magenta, purples, navy, turquoise).

Earth tones for everyone in the family.

Darker,
urban clothes for the parent and reds or oranges for the kids. If reds
and oranges are too bright for your tastes, you might consider using
bright colors in accessories.

Light colors for the whole family.
White shirts and khakis for the parents and light-colored clothing for
the kids for a light and airy summer look.

Tips:

Some
parents have found it easiest to select the clothes they themselves
want to wear first, and then choose kids’ clothes that complement their
own look.

Don’t be afraid of color! Color can make the photos look vibrant and fun.
